4/14 Will Kyle Boller have a good NFL career?
\_ No. He's not better than Pat Barnes (who wasn't that great to
begin with), and look where Barnes is now (nowhere).
\_ QB's are hard to predict; I thought Barnes was a sure-fire
winner, and also Ryan Leaf, and we know how that worked out.
However, it is worth noting that Boller has significantly raised
his stock in the NFL combines, while Barnes' stock dropped.
Boller was originally projected as a late-round selection and
now most sites have him going in the first round. He's tall,
mobile and has an astounding arm (at the combine he threw a
ball through the uprights from midfield, while on one knee).
He will definitely get a chance. -tom
\_ strong arms aren't everything these days. mobility seems to
more important. teams are spreading the field, and not
putting enough blockers for the QB, and so the QB has to
improvise.
\_ yes, but that's why his stock is rising; he ran a 4.6
at the combine, the fastest time for a pure QB. -tom
\_ hope he has a good NFL Career. Was Jim Plunkett ex-Cal?
\_ hardly: he was ex-Stanford. -tom
\_ Stanford QBs seem to have greater prominence in
the NFL: Elway and Plunkett, for example.
\_ Yeah, but we have the best tight-end (Gonzalez)
and kick returner (O'Neal) in the game
\_ we also have a number of pro-bowl
linemen. In fact, Cal is one of the
top schools in the country in terms of
number of players in the pros. -tom
_/
What about Pac-10 as a whole? Looks like Miami*/Florida*/
Ohio State have large number of top NFL players.
\_ This factoid just seems to prove how bad our coaching
is. Great players, lousy record. What else coudl it be?
\_ Cal has rarely had depth to recover from injuries.
\_ Who's the last Cal QB with a significant NFL career? Joe Kapp?
\_ Craig Morton. -tom
